| curl -I -k "https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/commits?per_page=1" | sed -n '/^[Ll]ink:/ s/.*"next".*page=\([0-9]*\).*"last".*/\1/p' | |
| ### And that's all ! | |
| # I saw many fighting with finding first commit SHA or similar fancy thing. | |
| # Here we just rely on the GH API, asking commits at 1 per page and parsing the last page number in the header of the reply (whose body only holds the last commit !) | |
| # So this is robust and bandwidth efficient. :) | |
| # If one want the commit count of a specific SHA, just use : | |
| curl -I -k "https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/commits?per_page=1&sha=:sha" | sed -n '/^[Ll]ink:/ s/.*"next".*page=\([0-9]*\).*"last".*/\1/p' |
